You must be on one of those rushes right now. We'll see who is right in a couple of weeks. This team is one game over .500 and will not make the NCAA at that .500 level. Too inconsistent but dream on if you like.........

its wrong but ok. you dont have to be .500 to make the nit, so even if we lost every game they could still invite us if they feel we are marketable.

would you like to place a board ban bet on this? are you that confident, because i am.

I still can't believe just how many posts you have in so little time, bTNo. Wow.

I say the NIT is most likely. The NCAA is possible with a strong finish, but it's still fairly unlikely. Next year should be a great year for Tennessee hoops, though.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing. Are you retired? Work from a computer? Seems like no matter when I respond I get a reply in a few seconds.

Maybe you need to try EHarmony?

In the past, NIT teams were selected in consultation with ESPN, the television home of the NIT. The goal of the NIT was to sustain the MIBA financially. Therefore, schools selected to play in the NIT were often major conference teams with records near .500 that had large television fan bases and would likely have a respectable attendance for tournament games on their home court.

The NCAA announced a revamped selection process starting with the 2006 tournament. The main highlights are:

Teams are no longer required to have .500 or greater records to receive bids. Even with this change, however, all teams receiving invitations for the NIT have had .500 or greater records.

Similar to the automatic bids the NCAA Tournament grants for all conference tournament champions, all teams that won regular-season conference championships but failed to earn NCAA tournament bids are guaranteed places in the NIT.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like we need to win at least three more games. We can do that!

We have 6 more regular season games remaining and then we play in the S.E.C. tournament. Should we get 5 more wins, to reach an 18 win season, then add in the fact that UConn, Florida at home and Florida away, were quality wins, we will get in the NCAA.
If we barely miss getting in to the NCAA, say with 17 wins, rather than 18 wins, then I see us going to the NIT.
All of the remaining games in our schedule are winnable games; including the Vandy game, at TBA.
If Mc & Mc (McBee & McRae) continue to be 3 point threats and we have no injuries or suspensions, then I see no reason for us to not get in the NCAA as a 16th seed.

Agree with most of what you say except major conference teams never get a 16 seed. If they make the tourney their at least a 12 seed.
